Hello peeps!
The beginning of my day was very hectic. I had laundry, cleaning, errands to run. The trains weren't running. Uch...I can't live!
..and to top it off, I had to take the tram into the city from Roosevelt Island. Talk about nerve wracking. Thank god its just a five minute trip. When my feet hit the ground, I had to get my bearings. I wasn't quite sure where I was. I just walked up to R train and lo and behold. VIOLa! Or is that Voi-la. Dylans candy bar.
THE best place on earth. The ultimate candy store. As soon as I walked in I was overwhelmed as the lady at the door handed me a plastic bag to fill. I resist the urge to plunge into mounds of gummies everywhere. "Have a little dignity" I say to my grown up self. So I carefully peruse the perimeter
Peruse: (transitive verb). To examine or consider with attention to detail
I started at one side and was blinded by a sea of candy. Too much to list here. You name it. It was there. I looked up and saw a sign advertising a lower and upper level. I went down a winding staircase which led me to a fudge counter. There was cheescake fudge and pumpkin fudge...and red velvet fudge..and chocolate and vanilla.. I can go on.. but I wont because fudge really isnt my gigiddy. I go up to the third floor where they have cupcakes and icecream. A bar for cocktails, and a cafe off to the side. There were all kinds of different flavors of icecream. Too many. You give me too many choices, I can't cope.
I go over to the bakery case...and I see it. The last reeses peanut butter chocolate cupcake. Now, normally I won't buy the "orphan" left behind. But this was no lonely orphan cupcake. It came from Crumbs bakery. This was a 4 dollar cupcake. Put into a fancy box and then put in a cute shopping bag. I walked out with my little cake. I felt good that I didn't run wild like the big kid that I feel like most of the time. So I go on about my buisness..met some friends, grabbed a veggie burger for dinner ..then head home to try this 4 dollar cupcake. Now I know what your thinking. "4 dollars for a cupcake..sheesh...that better be soooome cupcake dammit"
Let me just describe it to you so you understand. This was a chocolate cupcake, filled AND frosted with peanut butter frosting. around the whole edge were chocolate chips and chopped peanuts. And 3 tiny reeses peanut butter cups on top.
By far the best cupcake ever. Not overly moist or too dry. I was goldilocks and this was just right. The chips and peanuts gave nice crunch here and there..and the frosting wasn't overly sweet. You don't have to go to Dylans candy bar to get this cupcake just find a Crumbs bake shop. I promise you, once you try one of these cupcakes you will probably never eat another one anywhere else because it won't be the same. And let me just tell you. This cupcake is truly worthy of eating with a knife and fork. However once I took one bite, I threw my fork and knife into the sink.
Who needs to wash extra shit anyway :) Hats off to Crumbs. Worth every penny
Off for now bees and bears!
